People told me, I had to go and see Bruges but Ghent would be way cooler and I agree!
We were lucky enough not only to walks around and visit Ghent, we also got to experience the Ghent festival called Gentse Feesten. There were stages all over the city, bands playing all kinds of music, people out on the street drinking beer, the city was covered in lights and fire installations – simply amazing!!
As a foreigner in Belgium visiting Bruges is a must. Everyone told me it’s very pretty but even more touristy. And that’s what it is. Walking around in Bruges almost feels like walking around in an outdoor museum and I don’t mean that in a bad way. There are cute little medieval houses and churches, framed by the canal, very picturesque. If you’re into carriage rides, Bruges is the place to go. Just foodwise maybe not the best place to go, most of the cafes and restaurants I would consider to be tourist traps (20-25€ for a mediocre meal?) However, that didn’t keep us from having a good time!
The next day we did some sightseeing, obviously. I had never been to see the Atomium myself, it’s not very close to anything and there is nothing else there but some touristy museums. But it had to be done 😉 After a seen that done that, we went back into the city to explore the city centre and to get some sweet overkill Belgian waffles at Maison Dandoy! Good times!
I was very much looking forward to this day!!
My best friend came to visit me in Brussels and we had an amazing time together. I picked her up at Brussels Central Station after work and took her to Châtelain market where we got some delicious street food and a glass of wine. After, we went for fancy gin tonics at De Haus, a really cool place with a huuuuuge gin menu.
